Tiago M. Araújo

As duas aulas de conversação que fizeram foram um prazer grande :) Com outros professores tive experiências tão más que quase deixei de estudar esta língua. Por sorte continuei a procurar outro professor! O Tiago dá-me exatamente o que é que quero, com ele tenho a possibildade de falar muito e ele gosta de ouvir as minhas histórias e de contar as suas. Fala com calma assim percebo muito bem o que diz, em geral não tem de repetir nada. As aulas de conversação têm de ser mesmo assim, o estudante fala muito e percebe bem.

I booked a class with Tiago to practise my Portuguese and to help him get started as an italki teacher. We had a pleasant talk about Portugal, language learning and teaching. Tiago is a very calm and polite teacher. He is very knowledgeable and his pronunciation is very clear. I recommend him to anyone wishing to learn or improve their Portuguese. He certainly is an excellent English teacher too. Be sure to check him out!

This was my first lesson with Tiago. It was exactly what I am looking for. He speaks excellent English and of course Portuguese. With only minimal notice of what I wanted from him, he provided me with an hour of the teaching I needed. As soon as the lesson was completed, I booked another lesson from Tiago for tomorrow!

As a teacher myself (of portuguese), it's easy to recognize a professional when I meet one! Tiago is great! He is extremely well prepared! Previously to the lesson, he showed interest in knowing what I was expecting, my level of english, my needs and worries. Then, he carefully prepared the lesson. He really knows what he is doing. He is focused, pays attention to details and he "feels" the student. Now I feel much more comfortable and prepared for the job interview. Thanks, Tiago! I will book again! Como professora de português, é fácil para mim reconhecer um profissional quando encontro um. O Tiago é fantástico! Antes da aula, mostrou interesse em saber o que eu esperava, o meu nível de inglês, as minhas necessidades e preocupações. Depois preparou cuidadosamente a aula. Ele realmente sabe o que está a fazer! É focado, atento aos pormenores e "sente" o aluno. Agora sinto-me muito mais confortável e preparada para a entrevista de trabalho. Obrigada, Tiago! Vou agendar mais aulas!

I am in the last 2 months of B-1 course and I am preparing for an exam. I needed extra help with 3 of the verb forms. My regular classes are in Portuguese only which is fine for the conjugations; however, I needed explanations in English in order to understand the nuances of the verb usages. Tiago taught me in English and by the end of our 9 lessons, my knowledge of my subject was much improved and I am feeling more confident about taking the exam. Tiago is very patient, speaks clearly in English and Portuguese, and knows the languages. I am happy I chose Tiago to help me and I will definitely use his services again in the future.

Great! Looking forward to more sessions with Tiago and getting to grips with my conversational Portugese
